It seems Amber Quill does NOT do reprints.

Since Naomi and I have an extensive back-list, we are in the market for a publisher who does.
Any suggestions?

Blood Countess (Diabolus): Elizabeth Báthory, also called Erzsébet Báthory in Hungarian and Alžbeta Bátoriová-Nádašdy in Slovak, was the Bloody Lady of Hungary. In order to preserve her youth and loveliness, the brutal and incomparably savage countess captured, tortured and slaughtered innumerable young women and bathed in their blood as part of her beauty regimen. Ah, vanity. Corrupted black plum, smoky opium and crumbling dead roses covered by a deceptive veil of Hungarian lilac, white gardenia and wild berry.

Vial: sickly berry, like cough syrup and some lilac

Wet: eww, rotting opium with lilac

Drydown: Opium still there, under flowers. Plum and berry come in after a bit. Still perfumy opium, with lilac and berry under it.

Dry: artificial smelling berries with lilac and rose.

 

London (wanderlust): Venerable Victorian Tea Rose… twisted, blackened and emboldened with wickedness.

Vial: floral and syrup

Wet: Rose!

Drydown: Roses! More roses. No twisting and blackening here, just bold roses.

Dry: Sweet roses. Fades fast though.

Hairy Toad Lilly (Rappaccini's Garden) Spotty, hairy, purple, sweet!

Vial:seriously sweet lilies, very different than the others

Wet: Lily, purple and sweet. It smells purple. STRONG throw

Drydown: herbal scent, lillies underneath

Dry: Powdery lily. Not as nice as Black lily or Ulalume

 

Frumonious Bandersnatch: (Mad Tea Party) Bandersnatch musk, redolent of spicy carnations, wild plums and chrysanthemum.

Vial: floral with plums under

Wet: Spicy floral! Plums still there

Drydown: cinnamon mint with some fruity. Very fruity and spicy.

Dry: Spicy plum jam and carnations. I like this.
